Day 5 - Dunkeld to Halls Gap

About this page

Wednesday 3 December, 65kms

Cut through the middle of the Grampians. Watch out for local traffic – koalas, emus and wombats. Legs pumping, getting stronger. Rest day tomorrow, time for a treat? There’s 6000 beds at Halls Gap – and a rollicking good pub! Everyone is ready to celebrate and relax in style. Wonder what’s happening at Café De Canvas?

Everything was in our favour. No hills, tail wind and fine weather. What more could you ask for? (Geoff, 2006)

 

Great weather, great scenery, sense of achievement (Unknown, 2006)
